Cowboys Extend Terrell Owens

TheMalcolmConnection

It's funny how many Cowboy fans forget the other games where he was a non factor. Just like everyone else said, Taylor was out and there wasn't a plan in place. Tell me that Moss wouldn't have dropped the same kind of yardage on a second string safety (hell, he did it against FIRST string Roy Williams, but I try not to harp on that )

You know we will always see "apples and oranges" on this subject. But as for those "other games" you mentioned from Owens first season with Dallas, that was the year that Owens played the entire season with a broken bone in his hand, and although he led the league in dropped balls, he still led the league in TD's too. He played hurt the whole season and had surgery in the off-season to fix that bone in his hand.

In the same spirit though, we have all seen Santana Moss take himself out of games for one reason or another.

And the only game Owens played last year against Washington was in November of last season, he did not play the second game due to a high ankle sprain.

I believe that one of our DB's broke his hand in that first season you speak of. Can't remember his name though. It was some 3rd or 4th stringer. Not Ade Jimoh but.... It doesn't matter

Well my thought is this. Since joining Dallas, Owens has faced the Redskins 3 times. In those 3 games his combined numbers are 18 receptions, 268 yards and 5 TD's.

Those numbers are not outlandish, but I'll take'em

Santana Moss in 5 games against the Cowboys has 28 rececptions 537 yards and 4 TD's. Those numbers also are not outlandish but I will take them.

He's definitely a guy we need to stop to beat dallas. I won't argue against his ability & his performance on the field when he's not crying & whining at his coaches or teamates. TO is still at the top of his game & I'll give credit to JJ et al for keeping him in check.

He is still to me very easy to hate & hard to feel sorry for, especially when crying before a camera. And everyone has a weakness, his is going across the middle knowing he's going to get popped mercilessly. Landry will likely make some mistakes by being overly agressive, but he'll also pop TO enough to make him remember it.
I'll have my popcorn ready for that!

And I seem to recall that he was beating Pierson Prioleau playing deep at FS that day. With Landry now at FS, he brings Taylor's physical brand of play back there. I look for TO to have drops facing Landry as he did nearly every game that he faced the prospect of getting layed out by #21.

The Redskins had a winning record at 5-4 heading into that game, what's your point?

I can see you're going to last a long time here. Any reason you posted the same ignorant comment twice?

Since when is or 5-4 a losing record? JC Might not have needed to throw that pass that got intercecpted at the end of the game if Talor was healthy. TO would have never put up 4 TD's with Taylor there.

You know what nevermind, we got something for TO this year. Just remember we won the last time our teams met.

It's not an excuse. Missing our top defender that day was undoubtedly a factor in TO's big day. Going back to their matchups when TO was in Philly Taylor always stepped up and helped to shut him down.

Any secondary that loses a Pro Bowl FS will see a drop-off in performance. Hence a big day by an opposing offense or WR.

I'll go out on a limb here, based on your comments and name I'll assume you're a Dallas fan. Are you from Dallas or anywhere in TX? Correct me if I'm wrong.

These teams have split the season series the last couple of years in a row, so I do not think any of us have much to brag about.

We could trade excuses all day long...no Taylor...Dallas clinched and did not come to play...blah blah blah. Six in one hand, half dozen in the other.

I would be careful with that statement though. Posting that is just like saying "we do not have quality depth".
